A study carried out by marine geologist Dr Aaron Micallef (‘Malta’s submerged landscape’, Times of Malta, January 4, 2013), found that the archipelago was two-and-a-half times larger and the sea level 130 metres lower during the last Ice Age. The subsequent rise in sea levels created bays and harbours, mainly in a south-southeast to northeast direction, including Grand Harbour, the Marsa l-Kbira (Mers el Kebir) and its innermost creek, Ix-Xatt tal-Marsa, the stretch of water beyond an imaginary line drawn between Ras Ħanżir and the spur below the Capuchin convent at Floriana. Ancient toponyms offer windows on history, being mainly derived from Arabic, in this instance, for ‘harbour’ or ‘anchorage’, and is thus found elsewhere in the archipelago, namely Marsalforn, Marsa ta’ Ħal Saflieni, Marsamxett, Marsascala, Marsa Xini, Marsa Xlendi, Marsaxlokk, (Wettinger, 2000).

It is rare, these days, to feel that all is right with the world, but I came close to believing it could once again be so during my first golden hour in Valletta. In early June I escaped to Malta’s dainty capital, my first time venturing beyond British shores this year.
Over sundowners on the roof terrace of the newly opened Iniala Harbour House hotel, I looked beyond the gleaming superyachts and bobbing boats in the Grand Harbour and towards the ancient Three Cities. Under a cloudless sky, the settlements’ honeyed stone radiated dusk’s amber light; cooled by a sea breeze, from my eyrie, my Tom Collins cocktail really hit the spot. This, I suddenly remembered, is what a holiday is meant to be like.
